[VAC] Re: Painting the Exterior of an Airstream or Argosy



Joy, my understanding is the paint isn't as much insulating as it is
reflecting. Being painted white, the roof will reflect heat better than a
plain, unpainted aluminum roof will -- as strange as that seems. Andy told
me that Inland uses a DuPont paint called Basemaker as the first base coat
and then puts a protective coat of poly on top of that.
